The Rick, The Mort & The Ugly

Ricky and Morty found success through its witty, nonstop, thought-provoking humor and clever subversion of sci-fi tropes. Unfortunately, this episode lacked all of that. It was dull, uneventful, and, frankly, a disappointment. The energy and originality that once made the show stand out seems to be fading. I truly hope this was just a one off but with each new episode, I find myself questioning whether the show is slowly losing its edge.

I was so taken aback by how lifeless and uninspired the episode felt. I went out of my way to read reviews just to make sure I wasn't imagining things. I needed to know if others felt the same way, it was out of sync with what Rick and Morty used to be.

I'm sure it is difficult to come up with original ideas that are fast paced non stop comedy. I really hope this series aligns more with South Park and not with Family Guy.

When this episode first started, i really thought I was gonna be in for another tales of the citadel kind of episode but in all, the story lacked depth and didn't really make any sense to me, the idea of them trying to replicate morty's again and the guy who knows the code wanting to be left alone is cool. But I felt like this could've been way better if there was a true change to the story at the end of this like in the old "plot" episodes. This was very similar to "The Ricklantis Mixup" but just had a worse story unfortunately.

In all i feel like they tried to make a plot episode but didn't know where to go with it.

Be honest with me, did you guys get chatgpt to write this episode? The whole idea, the characters, the dialogues, the jokes, the action scenes, all felt old and as cliche as it could get. Everything felt out of place. When the song started on a supposedly emotional part of the story, it felt so forced. I remembered the s01e06 episode when Look on Down From the Bridge played, how shocking that scene felt, like a slap to the face. This time, it was a slap to the face as how bad everything was. As if a group of people had tried, under mortal threat, to just throw up some script and get it over with.

The first episode was fine although wasnt the best of rick and morty but the 2 after are just horrible, the jokes are super cheesy and boring. On a she hulk level. The plot and the dialogue also sucks ass. An example is the moment in which farmer rick went to space to find the ricks who burned his house, he said to the morty's get out of my car while they were in the middle of space. The death of the morty with the hat was also weird. The final words he said are quite cringe and off putting to listen to. The last example the line the hoof rick said felt like it was supposed to be a joke but it just didnt deliver and thats sums up almost all jokes made in this episode, empty, not thought through and painfull.

The pacing is off, the dialogue is bad. The new series feel like they try to recreate what worked well for the past best rated episodes. This is not what Rick and Morty is. Every episode doesnt have to be deep or have something to do with the story. The deep moments mean nothing when there arent regular smith family moments and random things inbetween. Again the pacing is off, never do they have a regular conversation like they used to. All they do is montages so they font have to write an actual story or conversation. Overall there is nothing in these episodes that makes me care for the characters. At no point during the Star Wars battles that they keep implementing kn these episodes do I ever feel concened for the characters involved. That means the show is badly written.
